Does anyone know the cause of some pretty severe beach erosion by One Seagrove? We were here In January and the beach was perfect, but wow what a difference this weekend! it seems to be only in one area. Wondering if perhaps the new storm drain is causing it? it has exposed some rotting cypress and the smell at times is pretty pungent.

Beach erosion by One Seagrove

It did look like it may have been caused by the water coming from the storm drain. You mention "Cassine runoff". Not sure I understand the Cassine connection?
That was my first thought as well, except that this appears to be pretty concentrated to the area directly beneath the storm drain.

The beach access next to One Seagrove Place and across the street from Cassine Gardens has historically had erosion issues since One Seagrove Place was built in the 80's. The issue has improved over the years but still no contest to mother nature and her 4 inches of rain on Saturday.

On the way down to South Walton this past weekend, we noticed more flooding than we've ever seen, even after tropical storms. The rain was just massive. From my experience in the past 10 years of owning in Seagrove, the worst erosion nearby after rain occurs from One Seagrove west to the walkover by the Tom Thumb. Mother Nature always fixes it, so no worries.

I believe much of the wetlands overflow in and around Cassine drain to there. There are tons of cypress swamp/lakes in the forest near there.
